We used the Airships board, which is decidedly less attractive than many of the other options, as it turns out. The Cardinal board is a beautiful work of art when complete; this one looks like clown vomit.

I had 3 bombs, two of which were part of my two successful Tichu calls. Bruce had a desperation Grand Tichu call which failed, and Matt ended the game with a successful Tichu call (but not the 1-2 that was needed).

Two players narrowly avoided execution of the dreaded Maniscalco Maneuver.
